Christian Female Student Is Stoned

 A young girl is martyred. From The Geller Report:

A female student was killed by a mob in northern Nigeria who stoned, beat and set fire to her for a voice note that they thought was blasphemous against the Prophet Muhammad. The angry mob pulled Deborah Yakubu out of a security room she was hiding in at the Shehu Shagari school in Sokoto, northwestern Nigeria, and carried out the horrific killing, according to police. Days earlier, Deborah, who is Christian, had left a voice note in her class Whatsapp group complaining that there were too many religious posts in a group intended for academic updates. According to a translation, she said: ‘The group is not created for sending nonsense things. It is created to send past questions, if there is a test, or if we are given assignments, not all these nonsense things.’

A fellow student replied with a voice note saying that Deborah had just blasphemed, and the original voice note began to circulate among Muslim students in the community. An angry mob formed to hunt Deborah down, and the student took refuge in the security room of the school under the protection of security guards. Unfortunately they were unable to keep her safe.

‘Students forcefully removed the victim from the security room where she was hidden by the school authorities, killed her and burnt the building,’ police spokesperson Sanusi Abubakar said in a statement. Deborah was dragged out, beaten and then stoned. Once she had died her body was set on fire and the school building burnt down as well. (Read more.)
